Today, @ReneKoenigs from RWTH Aachen delivered a beautiful lecture in our colloquium on the importance of spin states in photochemical reactions. Brilliant science followed by a delicious dinner to wrap up the day with @WerzLab, Henning Jessen & @pappas_babis

As many others before me, I’ve decided to slowly fade out this account. It’ll stay up a bit longer, but from now on you’ll mostly find me over on @bluesky: @schnitzerlab.bsky.social

🎉 Big day for our group: our first publication is out! Tom did a fantastic job highlighting current trends & opportunities in peptide catalysis — now published in Chem Catalysis (open access). Huge congrats, Tom! cell.com/chem-catalysis… #PeptideCatalysis #ChemCatalysis

Excited to join the Early Career International Advisory Board of @HelvChimActa! Looking forward to connecting with amazing scientists, strengthening the network, and supporting the journal.

Now everyone in Freiburg knows how to write chemoselectivity: with a P! Thanks, Christian Hackenberger @PhosphorusFive , for the exciting lesson today! It was great fun having you here with us! @WerzLab @pappas_babis Henning Jessen, Reinhard Brückner & Bizan Balzer!

Chemical progress by technological innovation - very happy to host Tim Noel @NoelGroupUvA @UniFreiburg @FreiburgChem for a @GDCh_aktuell talk @WerzLab @DumeleLab @BBreitLab @TobiasSchnitzer @pappas_babis @KrossingGroup @jessenlab

Woopwoop! Big news! 🍾🥳🚀 I’m incredibly honored to have received a major grant from the @bwstiftung and to now be part of the prestigious Baden-Württemberg Elite Network! Thanks so much for the generous support also from @UniFreiburg & @FreiburgChem bwstiftung.de/de/bereiche-pr…

Yesterday, our team had an amazing Christmas party! Being passionate coffee lovers, we started the day at a pottery, crafting our own cups. Later, we enjoyed Glühwein at the Christmas market and ended the day with a breathtaking view from the top of the Freiburger Münster. 🎄✨

Fantastic talk about strained-ring chemistry by @WahlLab in todays colloquium. Was a lot of fun having you around today! Thanks for your visit Johannes! With @DumeleLab @WerzLab @pappas_babis & Claudia Jessen-Trefzer

This week, Weiying starts as PhD student number four in our lab! We wish her lots of success and fun with our peptidic catalysts! 🥳

Designing mini-enzymes? She can do it! Inspiring talk by Franziska Thomas, followed by a lively dinner with @DumeleLab @pappas_babis & Claudia Jessen-Trefzer. Thanks, Franziska, for a fun day with lots of peptide science!

This week, Yichi started as a new Bachelor student in our team working together with Tom on the development of new peptide catalysts. Wishing you all the best and lots of success, Yichi!

Thrilled to have received the Eugen Graetz Award for young researchers at the @FreiburgUni during last week's ceremonial opening of the academic year. A big thank you to all my colleagues @FreiburgChem in particular @BBreitLab, @WerzLab & @JessenLab for their continuous support!

Just back from an amazing group trip to the Vosges! Got lost in the woods, hiked, had raclette & science sessions, solved a murder mystery – Emily was guilty! – and stopped on the way back in Colmar for some culture. Check out schnitzerlab.de/grouptrip2024 for more photos.

Are you looking for a PhD position in peptide synthesis, automation, and computational analysis? 🧪 💊💻 We have an open position for a collaborative PhD thesis (with Novo Nordisk). For more details, please see: jobs.uzh.ch/job-vacancies/… ⏰ Application deadline = November 15

We are excited to welcome Shailesh as the third PhD student in our group. He has been awarded the highly regarded DAAD India PhD fellowship and will be contributing to our adventures in the area of peptide catalysis. Welcome to the team, Shailesh!

We are thrilled to welcome Hanna, who will be conducting her master’s thesis research in our group. Her previous experience in inorganic chemistry will bring a fresh perspective and an exciting new twist to our research. Welcome Hanna!

Celebration time 🥳 - this time with Granita! Thrilled to announce that Tom has been awarded the highly esteemed @Evonik_DE scholarship for digital chemistry! Excited for his innovative research over the next 3 years. Thanks to the @Evonik Stiftung for the generous support!
